Magaoay was peering up the stairs, standing guard for his fellow Marines, when a young Arab male (later estimated to be no older than sixteen) emerged from the bedroom door located to the left and fired a three round burst into the back of the unsuspecting Marine’s head.

Anderson and MacMillan were stacked against a door leading to the house’s living room, getting ready to enter, when they heard the shots ring out. When the two peered over, Blake’s shooter was in the process of throwing a grenade at the two remaining Marines. The two hastily sprinted across the hall and dove for cover in an opening under the stairwell. A loud explosion roared through the house when the pineapple grenade detonated. Dust and debris thickened the murky hallway and MacMillan, without giving any thought, immediately emerged from under the stairs where he saw Blake Magaoay’s motionless body laying at the foot of the stairs and an armed man attempting to step over him in order to make a dash upstairs.

Urban combat is hell, ask veterans of Stalingrad (few still are alive), Arnhem, Hue...Marines in Falujah proved that no amount of smart weapons is going to change some things in warfare, and in urban combat tenacity counts above all. Perfect FBF for Marine corps birthday!

The Afghaines are going to hate us no matter if we came in with the cure for cancer. They are alergic to change of anykind and simply lack the fundamental cultural nessesary for a modern republic or democracy. Maybe a confederacy of tribes but thats about it.

The bad thing is even if they want more freedoms they dont have a choice. Iran and Pakistain wont let them make that choice. And we lack the manpower or will to do what is nessesary to stop it.

Should have just gone in and obliterated every city and turned all the fields to dust. The bombed whatever poked its head out.
